3 QUESTIONS to JOHN TEJADA:

Q: Let's get into the mood for your mix: Why did you select these tracks and what do they still mean to you today?

A: I wanted to dig through my vinyl collection and find some key influential tracks that made me want to one day create electronic music. These tracks shared a lot of music technology even though they were from different genres. I regularly go back to these songs as I can still feel that initial influence these tracks had as I heard them for the first time as a kid. They seemed so futuristic. Without all the info we have at our disposal today, I remember just wondering how and where these tracks came from. They continue to inspire me to this day. 

Q: How did you reflect the past 2 years of pandemic for yourself, your creativity and your life?

A: It was of course a very strange time, but it gave me time to focus on what’s important and how I want to continue with my work and everything else as normalcy is slowly returning. Those 2 years really helped me to focus in and appreciate quality time with everything I do, wether it’s being home, working on music or performing. 

Q: Which projects are you currently working on and what can we expect soon?

A: I’ve got a new solo EP out on Palette July 29th called “Nocturama.” Also, my remix of Orbital’s “Impact” is out on the same day.

HOW I MET THE BASS is a concept series, founded and hosted by @marc-depulse. 

It's not about mixing the current charts - it's about your roots. A storyteller. Music from your childhood and youth that once had a big impact on your later doings, showing musicially how you got in touch with Electronic Music back in the days.

Marc tells about his project:

"Techno is a huge family. These are my experiences when I'm coming to different cities and places every weekend. Doesn't matter who you are and where you're coming from. It's about making friends and having a good time together. I have met so many interesting artists during the last 2 decades and all of them love to tell their own exciting story. So I'm inviting my favorite artists from time to time to mix their musicial roots within a podcast."
